I didn't know that Kos has no electricity yet. And she managed to find a plane with no radio or radar, and travelled from an airport where none of the staff have walkie-talkies! Double-blind testing would be interesting.

You guys think a woman being allergic to electricity is weird, I once heard a story somewhere (I'm thinking it was on Nightline but I'm not sure on that) about a boy who was allergic to EVERYTHING !!!!!

I mean this kid has to live IN A TENT & has to go to school WEARING A HAZMAT SUIT !!!!!

You actually HIT the repeater?? NO WONDER THE THING IS ALWAYS DOWN WHENEVER I WANNA USE IT!!! Ohh...I get it now. When you say you Hit the repeater, you mean you are Talking To Other Hams Through It !!! *DOH!*

I think that was covered in a movie"The Boy in the plastic bubble" 1976 starring John Travolta

I wonder if they have done any double-blind experiments with her, to determine what is actually going on.

I mean, the average person, sitting in a room, is awash in electrical signals from many sources, including cosmic rays, lightning, and the earth's magnetic field.

There was an interesting story about a cellular tower that was supposedly causing the local people all sorts of issues. They went before the town planning commission to complain. The commission shelved the complaint until they could do further research on the effects.

The following month a GIGANTIC crowd of people showed up, all complaining about the problem. The original group said that the problem was much worse now. They were suffering from migraines, nausea, rashes and their hair was falling out. Then it was revealed that the cellular company had the site completely shut down for the previous month. No power to the equipment at all.

It did not do a damn thing to settle the issue. The people began to complain of a conspiracy, delayed effects and other potential sources of RF energy.

Wanna read something funny? Here is a report that I just happened to have open from a Russian institute about the long term effects of RF (very high levels) on people.

--------I had to chuckle at the "allergic to beer, sex, etc.." comment. To be discreet, if it was not for certain battery powered appliances some form of self gratification might be.... more challenging for us women <lol>. It would be horrible to be allergic to the amount of power in a few C cell batteries <g>.

I do not care too much for fishing (unless it is with dynamite), hunting (unless it is two legged prey) or beer (having done CPR on someone and had them throw up a load of beer in my mouth <no-kidding>). The other activities and pursuits are just fine by me.

In cases like this, the usual cause is in the head of the "afflicted" person. In other words, if they think they're adversely affected by certain things, they will show symptoms whenever they THINK they're around those things. Don't get me wrong--some of those cases are quite real, but the majority of them are just as someone else said-- "A few screws loose."
